jerseycanadian Posted March 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2014 As with most of the long-delayed reveals related to the Quantum class, we are a little bit frustrated with the lack of information having to do with the details of the Grand Suite. We are long-standing Royal Caribbean customers, and enjoy our Grand Suites. But having booked our Grand Suite almost a year ago when the Quantum reservations opened up, we'd sure love at least a few more details of the stateroom we've paid for. If I'm not mistaken, all the other Quantum staterooms at least have a floor plan and rendering. I'm sure this sounds really petty in the grand scheme of things, but it seems like Royal Caribbean is really dragging this whole Quantum experience out for even it's most loyal patrons. (And don't get us started on the lack of summer 2015 Quantum bookings.) Are we missing something??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk2795 Posted March 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm with you, jerseycanadian. We are booked in a superior grand suite for our Quantum cruise and have been waiting for a floor plan & rendering. We are just as eager as you are.

sandian Posted March 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Same here, it is our first Grand Suite and I am totally frustrated that we have no info. I even asked our vacation planner and she was just as confused and couldn't give us any information.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirk25 Posted March 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have been waiting for more info as well. Like you, we booked the grand suite on the first day the Quantum bookings opened up. Hope more information comes out soon. I don't understand why there not even a layout or floor plan for this suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardedladies Posted March 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It's not just Grand Suites. We have no idea exactly what we're getting with our Spa Junior Suite either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacats Posted March 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2014 We're also in a GS, and I'd love some info. Waaaaay back when bookings first opened I thought I read on here that they were going to be laid out similar to the Oasis/Allure GS, just with two doors to the bathroom (one from the living area, one from the bedroom). I have no idea where the poster who wrote that got their information from, though. The room description on royal's site does mention the two bathroom doors, but there's nothing about the layout. I wish I had booked it opening day. We booked a D1, then upgraded to the suite last month. We would have saved almost $3000 :eek: if we had booked it on opening day, but at the time we had never been in a suite and it didn't even cross our radar. (We ended up upgraded to a suite on Allure this past Jan and then DH decided he couldn't live without the suite on Quantum, so I stalked the site until one opened up. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also booked a Grand Suite on the Anthem. Why no layouts for these cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacher1 Posted October 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We also booked a superior grand suite MAINLY for that huge 259 square foot wrap around balcony. If you look at pics of hump where these suites are located, it looks like dividers are up in the corner and no access to balcony where large port hole is located. I will be VERY disappointed if those dividers do not come down. They block the view of the beautiful wrap around - we will just have to wait and see. When they interviewed Genevieve G who did the interior decorations, she said floor plans would be on site soon - that was MONTHS ago. I just don't get it - there was so much information when Oasis came out - no secrets then. What is the big deal - I just don't understand - they would drum up more business with more details. Patience is what I need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billium Posted October 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We too are waiting to see a drawing of the Grand Suite. Only 34 days to the Inaugural and nothing. I have asked my travel agent to take my request to the RCCL Rep, not that I expect an answer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treacher1 Posted October 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I thought it was perhaps to block the wind - on some pics it looks like there are 2 panels in the corner. In other pics - it looks like ONE panel is removed to walk to the other side of the wrap around balcony. It that is the case - if one is still left in the corner - it really blocks the front view - and that is why we booked the superior grand suite - to have a large balcony with an UNOBSTRUCTED view. We will have to wait till people sail and send us pics or tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the same panels are present in the owners suites directly below my SGS and those suites are also advertised as having the same sized balcony.

djh Posted October 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think they must be temporary. They charge more for that suite than a regular grand suite and the cabins are supposed to be the same square footage so the difference must be the balcony. I'll let you know. We are in a superior grand on deck 13 on 11/2. I will report back hopefully with pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treacher1 Posted October 16, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Wishing you smooth sailing and a great cruise. We can't wait to hear from you and see some pics of suite and the balcony. If the dividers are there, you can ask them to be removed - ha! I really hope they BOTH can go for super view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been studying every picture and video and all seem to show the dividers. I hope they can be removed. I look forward to some cabin layouts soon and I also look forward to the pics from djh.

simmo Posted October 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi everyone Apologies if you have all seen this picture already but I was just having a look and came across a picture (small) on the Royal Caribbean website of the Superior Grand Suite. I am not technical so am unable to attach it here (sorry!) but maybe someone else can?!! We are booked on Anthem so long time to wait but so excited about the launch of the Quantum. I hope everyone has a great cruise on this great looking ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. Simmo Hello, Found it also, I was thinking of upgrading from a grand suite to the superior grand suite with the extended balcony. The difference in price from when I booked my Anthem 2016 cruise is $700 more- IMO not worth it! If the price decreases, (doubt it) I might consider. Keeping the Grand Suite for the Quantum cruise as I was even lucky to get it for March! Txs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novajeff Posted October 22, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 22, 2014 We are booked in the Superior Grand Suite sailing 11/2 from Southampton as well. I'm a little disappointed that they haven't posted floor plans for the suite yet. It's 11 days before the cruise. The picture they have posted is a rendering and not the real deal. I want the real deal. In any case I'm sure tons of pictures will be posted once the cruise is on the way. Getting excited!:D Any word on who the concierge will be?

I've read elsewhere on the cruise critic boards the concierges will be Mario Reyes and Reyno. When I asked a rep at the Diamond Plus desk, she told me they didn't have it listed it yet. I suspect they will be Mario and Reyno, as cruise critic people always seem to be the first to know! :) swiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
